Abstract
During the nineteen-sixties, more and more historians recognized the need to employ at least simple statistical techniques in their work. Naturally, in a discipline which straddles the humanities and the social sciences and prides itself on its writing style, lack of jargon, and attention to the subtle complexities of human life, there was opposition to the new wave. One prominent historian, for example, warned his colleagues "never to worship at the shrine of that Bitch-goddess, QUANTIFICATION."
